apologies about my random vanishing. I got a new hard drive and haven’t been able to figure out how to import favorites into here. I just managed to get back here by getting an email newsletter thing from the site. I’m doing work stuff right now, but I’ll hurry up and post something as soon as possible. Didn’t mean to vanish like that on you guys.

Well that’s good to hear at least. Got some family issues going on at this end by the way, but since the family members are several states away, it probably won’t affect my activity once this gets going again.

It is a tricky situation – the alternative may be for me to quote the difficulty before rolls are made – or possibly to let folk know that there are additional factors that make something harder than it would otherwise be? As a general hint that storypoint may be need to succeed.

Something that occurs to me now is how we are going to handle rolls in general. Because of story points, it might not always be best to just once in a while ask if we want to use a point, because that to me seems to give away when something is important enough to warrent asking about it.

Do we want to worry about that at all, do we want to have to deal with having the GM ask if we want to use a point every time something fails, how do we want to go about that?
